Tuesday June 5, 1979
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
A four-hitter by Frank Tanana, who pitched his first complete game this season, enabled the Angels to beat the Blue Jays, 3-0. The first run resulted from a two-base throwing error by Blue Jay pitcher Tom Underwood in the first inning. Bobby Grich hit a homer in the sixth and Don Baylor drove in his 56th run of the season with a round-tripper in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
